## AI overview

This tutorial explains how Docker CPU and memory resource limits work and how SQL Server sees those constrained resources. It covers the default absence of container limits, CPU scheduling limits, and memory limits.

## Source excerpt

Limits in Containers Docker gives you the ability to control a container's access to CPU, Memory, and network and disk IO using resource constraints, sometimes called Limits. You define limits as parameters when creating containers. In its default configuration, a container will have no resource constraints for accessing resources of the host operating system. This post will look at how to configure resource constraints in Docker and look at how SQL Server sees the resources when CPU and Memory resource constraints are in place.
